Isn't it that Apple won't accept Flash? Jobs said years ago that they wouldn't support it. Now this is a long time ago and they might have changed policy after I read that, but I believed it was so.

I can't play Flash on my Android laptop. It refuses to install the player because they do not support it.
I think Flash has lost

Yes, you are correct, Apple don't support Flash, but you are wrong when you say "Flash has lost", it is Apple who lost. I have heard from plenty of people who have avoided Apple products because they use Flash, Jobs has cost Apple shareholders millions, possibly billions because of his petty squabble with Adobe.

I totally agree and Apple only can't take down Flash.
It's still widely used and I've been into Flash for almost twenty years now.
I just can't help noticing that Browsers and Smart-stuff seems to hate Flash. The downside of Flash is the constant updating. Almost as annoying as Java now and then.
I think Flash Developer took the wrong turn way back when they decided Flash was supposed to handle everything, not just be a great game/web/multimedia program as it was.
